Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Gucci GG Charlotte Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 28 × 13 cm, it comfortably holds an A4 folder or tablet, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch, and a water bottle. Capacity will vary with how you pack—use pouches to keep items organised and to protect the lining.
Q: Will it fit a 15-inch laptop? A: Slim 14–15 inch devices may fit horizontally thanks to the 40 cm width. For an easy close and tidy silhouette, we suggest a device footprint around 36 × 25 cm or smaller, in a thin sleeve. Please compare your device’s measurements with the bag’s dimensions.
Q: How is it carried and is the strap adjustable? A: It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 18 cm drop, designed for shoulder or hand carry. The strap is not adjustable and the bag is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: How does the closure work and how secure is it? A: This example features a large G‑hook clasp that fastens the top. It is secure for everyday use but not a full zip; keep smaller valuables in the interior zipped pocket. Note that other Charlotte releases have appeared with zip or snap-top closures, but this one uses the G‑hook.
Q: What is the material and how durable is GG canvas? A: The bag is crafted in beige/brown GG canvas with dark brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. GG canvas is a coated fabric that is hard‑wearing and relatively resistant to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged rubbing against dark textiles to minimise colour transfer.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Treat the leather trim sparingly with a suitable neutral leather conditioner when needed. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, or baby wipes. Store it upright, loosely stuffed, in a breathable dust bag away from direct heat and sunlight, and avoid overfilling to protect the strap stitching.
Q: Where is the Gucci serial/style code and what does it mean? A: Look inside the bag on the reverse of the leather Gucci logo tag. Most Gucci handbags show two lines of numbers: the upper line is the style code and the lower line relates to supplier/production. Gucci does not offer a public serial‑number lookup; authenticity is determined by assessing multiple details together.
Q: What is included as per the product information? A: The product information for this item lists no extras included. Anything supplied will be clearly stated there; if a dust bag or booklet is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Is this a current model or a vintage piece? A: This is a pre‑loved vintage model from a past Gucci collection. Please review the condition notes on this page for the specific signs of wear on this item.
Q: Can future repairs or refurbishment be arranged? A: Minor refurbishment such as edge re‑glazing or hardware polishing can often be handled by specialist ateliers, and Gucci Client Services can advise on aftercare options. Contact us if you would like guidance on reputable services.
